Finally, a use for your PTG Membership card.by Robert Morss, RPT The PTG has the nicest membership card. Each year when my new card arrives I sign the back of it and place it in my tuning kit. What the heck (I figure), maybe someday someone will want to see proof that I am a guild member. Yet in all the years of carrying around that card, not once have I had occasion to show it as proof of my PTG membership. Over the years one begins to wonder why the PTG goes to the expense of producing such a high-quality card which has no earthly function. Then at one of the chapter meetings a few years back, fellow member Paul Lynn showed up with the neatest plastic nametag. It had the guild logo and his name embossed on it. Wow! On the theory that “you’ve got to put the hay out where the cows can see it” now you too can turn that useless membership card into a professional-looking (yet unobtrusive) name tag. Just cut one of your old membership cards down from its full size to the rectangular area shown below and round off the corners to match the upper left. Tape a safety pin to the back and you’re set.
It’s especially nice to wear the nametag for first-time customers, who will often ask about it, giving you the chance to tell them about the PTG. After all, if we don’t inform our customers about the PTG, how else are they going to find out about it? Return to Front Page, Tech Topics
